Alte Burg Netphen stands in Netphen (Kreis Siegen-Wittgenstein), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Alte Burg Netphen is a former stronghold that has since vanished, perched on a rocky spur above the Sieg river near the village of Dreis-Tiefenbach. Its origins are thought to date to the High Middle Ages, possibly on the site of an earlier Frankish fortification. The complex once included a small main castle, an outer bailey, and a keep with thick walls alongside a well. Excavations carried out in 1929 documented these remains, part of the grounds later became home to an inn.
